President obama is going up against Hillary Clinton and donald trump over the Transpacific Partnership trade deal. And today, the president rolled out an unlikely ally. Correspondent kevin cork with the story from the white house. Reporter enough is enough. Lets get this trade deal done. That was the message delivered to at the white house by Ohio RepublicanGovernor John Kasich. We cannot get to the point in america that because a democrat wants something that you happen to agree with, you cant agree with them. Reporter Onetime Republican president ial candidate joining forces with the Opposition Party standard bearer, the president , to promote the passage of the 12nation Transpacific Partnership, currently stalled on capitol hill. Kasichs remarks following a strategy session with white house officials, political and business leader, amid growing concerns the deal, now five years in the making, could go down to defeat. When politics is the order of the day and partisanship trumps country, we drift. We drift as a nation. And im extremely concerned about what i see.

Reporter the Unlikely Partnership comes as the white house makes a final push to try to persuade republican lawmakers on the Hillary Clinton to approve this deal in a lame duck session after the election. Experts say it shouldnt surprise anyone that kasich is partnering with the president. I doubt that john kasich will change very many minds in the electorate about whether free trade is good or free trade is bad. What john kasich will do is maybe strengthen the spines of a few republicans who have walked away from the issue under pressure from their partys nominee. Reporter terrific stuff. You may recall in the primaries, listen, trump and kasich were very, very fierce competitors. And you may also remember that kasich defeated trump in their headtohead matchup in the Buckeye State before, of course, trump went on to victory overall. Given the closeness of this race and the fact that ohio is such an important swing state, kasichs support could mean all the difference in the world between victory and defeat. Shannon .

Reporter those nine detainees represent 6 of the 161 transfers since twoo200. President obamas track record is better than the previous administration. Thats an indication of how rigorous the process is when we are negotiating with other countries around the world to take these detainees.
